Coventry City youngster Chris Camwell has committed himself to his boyhood club by agreeing a new deal.

The 18-year-old Sky Blues defender has been the subject of interest from Premier League Stoke City and Championship Barnsley but the teenager today settled his future by signing a new two year deal.

The Telegraph understands that the Academy graduate was keen to get his future sorted out sooner rather than later in order to start pre-season training at the same time as everyone else tomorrow, rather than see things drag on all summer and face the uncertainty that goes with that.

But no bid have been forthcoming from Stoke or any other clubs who have expressed an interest.

The Bedworth lad made his debut at left-back for the League One club in a 3-1 loss at Scunthorpe in the last match of the season.

First team manager Mark Robins clearly rates the full-back, saying after his debut at Glanford Park where he was thrown in due to an injury crisis: “I thought he was absolutely brilliant.

“I thought it was a great debut and just shows what he’s capable of doing because I thought he was outstanding. For a debut for an 18-year-old he was very good."

Camwell clearly has a great deal of affection for the Sky Blues, commenting on social media after playing his first senior game: “Well what can I say, I’m so happy to have made my full league debut for the club I’ve supported and been at since 6 years of age.

“It’s a dream come true and I would like to thank everyone that has helped and supported me along the way.”
